Nordzucker looks back on a successful 2025/2026 campaign

Nordzucker looks back on a successful 2025/2026 beet campaign with stable processing. Group-wide yields were well above average. The amount of produced sugar is higher than expected.

While our sites in Finland and Lithuania successfully completed processing of the 2025 beet harvest in December, the factories in Germany and Sweden followed suit in the second half of January, and by the beginning of February, the last beets from this campaign will have been processed in Slovakia, Denmark and Poland. Overall, harvesting conditions were good; beet diseases – including the spreading SBR complex – had a limited regional impact, but no exceptional effect on beet yields and quality overall.

Stable processing at our plants and excellent cooperation along the value chain enabled a safe and efficient conclusion of the campaign and reflect the effect of ongoing investments in processes and optimization.

As part of its company-wide GoGreen programme, Nordzucker has further improved energy performance indicators at its factories and significantly reduced CO₂ emissions – through efficiency gains in process steps, the use of biogas from beet pulp and increased energy recovery from steam.
